Mike Bloomberg: Greatest mayor of all time?

Mayor Michael Bloomberg reiterated that he is “no way, no how” running for president over the weekend and said he’s more interested in being remembered as “the greatest mayor ever.” Mr. Bloomberg’s legacy will include the creation of 311, continued crime reduction, environmentalism and mayoral control of schools.

Guiliani? NO WAY! He’s the idiot who built his emergency command HQ at the World Trade Center, after they tried to blow it up the first time! He’s the idiot who hired Bernie Kerik. He pretended to take control on 911, but turned his back on the health and safety of all New Yorkers who were breathing the fumes off the pile – especially the FDNY and other first responders. He even turned his back on his wife and kids and tried to get everyone to like his mistress.

Calling Giuliani a great mayor is like calling Bernie Madoff a great investment adviser.

Bloomberg the best mayor? That’s nuts. He may be the best mayor of Nannyville, but he’s a failure as a mayor of NYC. He’s had 8+ years to tackle out of control fixed costs, pensions and unions and has done nothing in favor of messing up Broadway, cracking down on salt and letting his agencies run amuck.

In his own mind, he may be the greatest Mayor the city has ever known but I’ll go with LaGuardia who read comics to the kids on Sundays and never imposed his will on anyone as our current Mayor has. Mayor Mike has screwed up the city with bike lanes, cutbacks in the FDNY and NYPD and appointments of unqualified people to high level jobs. It’s these people who will probably think of him as the greatest Mayor the city has ever known, but if I was earning six figures as these people are I might vote for him too! By the way, Koch was very good too, but why Dinkins made the list gives rise to the question of what happened to Lindsay?

Guiliani? NO WAY! He’s the idiot who built his emergency command HQ at the World Trade Center, after they tried to blow it up the first time! He’s the idiot who hired Bernie Kerik. He pretended to take control on 911, but turned his back on the health and safety of all New Yorkers who were breathing the fumes off the pile – especially the FDNY and other first responders.

It was Ed Koch who cleaned up Times Square, if by cleaning up you mean made it boring. I liked it better before. It had an edge. Giuliani, btw, was a thug and a bully. Calling him a little Hitler is an insult to Hitler.
